Thinking Outside the Box of Cards

Kids love these Jumbo Cards and I love their enthusiasm when they practice addition with them!

Yes, they are jumbo as shown by the ruler.  The cards measure  ten and a half  inches long.

This station was set up with a 4, 9 and 7 which equals 20.

Students then work together in groups  to make different combinations of 20 with the remaining deck of jumbo cards.

Student Examples
Cards That Equal 20

Additional Activities

Number Bond  8 +2 =10 and 10 - 8 = 2

Number Bond 6+3 = 9 and 9 - 6 = 3

Breaking Apart the Number Bond
6 + 3 = 9 and 3 + 6 = 9 and 9 - 3 = 6
